 The things my kids will do for a piece of candy. :-)

-auto levels, auto contrast, auto color
-greyscaled then duotoned
-curves adjustment
-cropped slightly
-resized
-contrast/brightness adjustment
-USM
-bordered

I'm predicting I may get comments about the haloing around the collar but to get the sharpness to the rest of the photo that I wanted, I decided to put up with it.

Congrats on the top ten! Delightful image. I like how the one C makes it appear he has a hoop earring. Great picture to share with future dates he may have, too.

Funny, that is one of my favorite photos on this site. I think it may have subliminally influenced me a bit. Bucket is one of my heros. :)

Great image. The dunce cap might be a bit overkill as the having to write on the chalkboard could have been enough. But overall really well done and one of my top picks of the challenge.
